@co-hoosier all we can do on this board is the same as the last: help fellow Hoosiers get to the answers. If they aren’t willing to accept them it’s not our fault.
No, the President did that.@bar-down exactly Fauci had the megaphone and he used it. Media elevated him to the Covid guru. He spoke and people listened, especially governors and mayors.
President gave Fauci and the entire Operation Warp Speed Team Presidential Commendations the day before he left office for his first term.
President Trump Awards Presidential Commendations to Operation Warp Speed Team – The White House
@aloha-hoosier fauci fckd us. Biden fckd us. Now there’s no way to get fauci. I just think we keep ordering him to appear before Congress and take turns yelling at him
Bastard.Anthony Fauci.
Thats not a compliment.
Its a condemnation of him and our inept and incompetent administrative function of government.
Im talking about the swamp.
Like The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Fauci rose from the muck of the federal bureaucracy. Anthony Fauci was never elected, never treated patients, is not a health policy expert, and is not even an epidemiologist. Why would we give a shit about what he said? Well, he was the top creature in the public health establishment of the U.S. government swamp. He grabbed the reigns of power the moment Covid became an issue and not only never let go but tightened his grip. Fauci snowed under those who were in authority and who could contradict him. But he didn’t do it alone. The media quashed every single health professional who contradicted the Fauci view and dismissed them as quacks. “Disinformation” became the buzzword of the time. California even passed a law prohibiting medical professionals from providing disinformation. For his part, Fauci used a system of public health research and grants to build a support base. The Swamp quickly turned Covid into a political mission as many saw it as a way to make Trump look bad and get rid of him.
The government response to Covid was an abject failure. Kids needlessly missed school. Family gatherings were cancelled. Masks were everywhere. No outside activities. No preventative health care. And more. All because of the swamp ( deep state) and a single individual who could take advantage like nobody ever had before.
The important question facing us is not what to do about the next pandemic, but what to do about the public health establishment swamp.
It's always the little ones you have to worry about the most. Always!
The answer to the problem is cut the federal government by 80% and move to sound money.
Not a big fan of Fauci, but he didn't come up with lockdowns on his own, and he wasn't the only public policy/medical wonk to think it was the answer. Read Michael Lewis's The Premonition.Anthony Fauci.

BITCOIN, BABY!
@bradstevens the lockdowns were totally understandable. For a while. Then most of the precautions became virtue signaling Dem bs. Ranger and I daily were posting the risk data to certain groups and how ridiculous the Dem bs was

No he didn’t. But he was the source of the “flatten the curve” nonsense that spawned it. He was in position to walk it back.
I agree with you. I'm just saying Fauci was following a particular consensus.@bradstevens the lockdowns were totally understandable. For a while. Then most of the precautions became virtue signaling Dem bs. Ranger and I daily were posting the risk data to certain groups and how ridiculous the Dem bs was
Of course, he also admitted to lying re masking, was squirrely about GOF research, got shown to be a narcissist, and coordinated an attempt to shut down and discredit dissenting views.
I can forgive a guy for getting stuff wrong, especially under novel circumstances. He deserves criticism for the other stuff.
Yeah. The media made Trump a laughing stock and made Fauci a little god. The public mostly didn’t know their ass from first base.
Private course?
public parks, playgrounds, skate parks, and golf courses were closed all over the country.
I think you have to blame your local dumbass health officials for that one. Golf courses and parks never really closed around here. Our club was closed for about 1 month but started allowing play on May 1, 2020. We played public courses in Carmel during April, as the Hamilton county health dept never closed courses.
I have no idea how other states operated, but in Indiana it was the county level health department that made all the calls, including schools.
